I love your work. You are very talented photographer and have a great eye (and job indeed!).
I also have lots of material in HDR (Architectural Photography is my passion), mostly from NYC, but also from other cities and countries.
Please do feel free to check it out at: http://www.frodnyc.com I hope I will see you there and comments are welcome. I wish I had the kind of traffic your website has.
Best regards,
FJRod

I am a photography newbie who stumbled upon your pictures on DPS by accident. I am completely blown away by your photography techniques. I was researching tips and trick of photographing fireworks (for 4th of July in DC) and your tutorials just about opened a whole new world of photography for me. Anyway, about these picture taken at the Air and space museum; I captured the exact same images two years ago and when I compare mine and yours, its like I photographed entirely different subjects! You inspire me and challenge me to put this new camera I have to good use. At this stage I have a relatively good camera for a beginner ( D5000) but may not be able to afford all the hardware and post processing software you recommend, although I have photoshop and lightroom. Plus, I am a PC user!
I pray for a long life for you, so that I can soak up more knowledge from you, MAESTRO!
Sincerely, Alan Ochieng

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:32:50 +0000http://www.stuckincustoms.com/?p=7425#comment-949133Trey, long time enjoyer of your photos first time commenter. At the top of this blog you mention some techniques you use when taking handheld photos, when a tripod would have been a great advantage. From Job training and experience I have, I use the following techniques when taking handheld photos.
1. Natural alignment to the subject, this seems an obvious statement, but taking a photo, say, standing on tip toes, learning over or straining to hold the camera in position may result in camera shake, due to the effort to maintain the position.
2. A persons breathing cycle is on average 6 seconds, 1-1.5secs inhalation, 2-3 exhalation which leaves about 1-1.5 seconds of natural pause. This is the perfect time to take your photo. To hold you breath you must tense your muscles, which again after a short while will lead to straining and camera shake. You can check this out yourselves anytime 🙂
3. If you are taking photos handheld you need to create a tripod of your own. Two of the legs are quite obvious, they would be your own two legs, but these still need to be positioned correctly. The must common position would be with both feet below your shoulders, but this position is still quite unstable. Positioning one foot slightly forward and one behind the shoulder line distributes your body weight better, reducing the need to tense muscles and strain to hold position.
Now for the third leg, this is going to be the hand & arm supporting the lens. If there is a willing inanimate object around that you can, learn, brace or support yourself against then you’ve got your third leg. If not, then turning side on and positioning your lens supporting arm onto your hip bone, as its a solid support, you may also have to scrunch up a little to achieve this. When using this technique point the front foot at the subject and rear perpendicular to attain a solid base.
4. As Trey & Jen mention locking your elbows to steady the camera. This technique is best utilised when exhaling, as you exhale you draw your arms in and on reaching the natural pause of your breathing cycle your arms are forming a sturdy support for your camera, without to much strain and shake.

I hope this is helpful and i’ve not bored anyone.
